'Guys… This isn't going to work.'
Arthur froze in his tracks.
Alfred?
He had thought that he was out for Mcdonalds. The voice seems to be coming from the world conference room. Arthur quietly slid near the door, peering through a thin crack to see America, China, and Russia-Also known as the Black Triangle trio, standing inside the darkened room, illuminated only by a few ghostly white candles. They seem to be busy conversing over a large sphere…
Arthur's eyes widened.
'Hush, Alfred.' The clearly annoyed Chinese man gently pushed him, while the tall Russian stood silently, observing the beautiful Earth globe in front of them.
'I'd say… This looks good. These are very beautiful countries...' Yao glided a gloved finger across the south of Africa, a calculating glint dancing in dark eyes glinting with cold gold specks.
'Hmm… Maybe Canada, da? I'd always been interested in that country…' Sweet violet eyes danced lazily as a long metal pipe softly clinked against the globe. Those ret splatters-Were they blood? Arthur wondered with a shiver.
'Not Mattie, you sunflower-crazy dude.' Alfred glared at the tall nation with fierce blue eyes, ignoring the half-annoyed, half-amused glare he received. 'We can't… I care about him too much. Let's leave him alone, kay?'
'Fine.' Yao's dark tailcoat trail fluttered with every movement, the feeble light of the flames were absorbed into the dark cloth. 'But only because he is your little brother…' A maniacal smile slowly crawled onto his pale lips- 'But we are not sparing our family members!' He leaned back and chuckled sweetly, as Ivan idly tapped the areas of his sisters' countries, a dark smile graced his lips. Alfred smirked and jabbed Yao lightly in the ribs, which caused both of them to burst into howls of predatory laughter.
No, it's not happening… Arthur felt his body slowly turning to ice as a dark, empty feeling crept up his body, freezing his heartbeats. Russia… He was not surprised that he would do down this road. But Alfred? And Yao? Alfred… The happy, energetic nation whois always ready to help the world. And Yao… So sweet, caring and elegant…
But maybe it's all a cover-up.
Ivan was a cleverly planned hook, to make everyone plant their suspicions upon him. The always-happy, hamburger-eating, full-of-idiotic-ideas Alfred… How could anyone suspect him? He was like the very definition of positiveness and freedom in their daily life… Clever. So very clever.
And Yao, the wise yet soft little cinnamon roll, suffered so much but received so little, raised half a dozen of little nations, but were betrayed by all of them. Calm, mature but sometimes silly and crazy. Who can suspect the cinnamon roll? Even if he did appear suspicious, all nations would feel too guilty to tell…
Arthur shut his eyes. I can't believe this… But I must show the world the truth!
He felt his uniform. A long knife was always hidden inside, in case of emergencies...
Arthur's hand trembled as he stood up shakily, reaching for the doorknob.
Creak…
The door slowly creaked open, and as Arthur reached for his knife, Ivan tilted his head slightly as he spoke a final sentence-
'But seriously, we really need to find out the right path to carry out our plan to drop large mounds of bacon onto every capital city, da?'
...
The trio had to carry a passed out Arthur all the way to the hospital.
Additional:
'So… You think that we had been trying to take over the world, dude!?'
Everyone else either looked very scared, confused or trying to contain their hysterical laughter.
Arthur flushed deeply, as he mumbled shyly: 'Well… The Nps' of the three strongest countries in the world, always hanging out together, hushed conversations, suspicious looking clothes-' '-It's just formal clothing!' '-Weird, out of character acts… Everyone's kind of suspicious, in a way.'
The trio glanced around, as the other nations nodded to comfirm the statement.
Yao sighed. 'Ai-ya, guys… Seriously? But since our actual plans were found out, I guess we have to wipe that particular activity off our bucket list.'
'But seriously, we just like hanging out together, I'm a hero and is super cool, Yao's really smart and Ivan dares to do pretty much anything and get away with it, so I think we kind of make a good team? Plus, I think that our friendship shows that even if our leaders are hostile or untrusting, we Nps can still be good friends, dudes.'
There was a short pause, and then a large wave of applause showered Alfred, who grinned and bowed several times. Arthur smiled at the young nation, who grinned even wider as he winked at him.
'Anyways, if we had wanted to conquer the world, we would have already done it, da?'
'...Not helping dude.'
